Leopard's new UI
by Giles Turnbull
Let’s get this out in the open shall we: I think the semi-transparent Menu Bar looks alarmingly similar to Windows Vista. Anyone else think so?

> Since I generally don't use the Dock and keep it hidden, I'm curious to see if the concept of Stacks will make me come back to it.

Doesn't anyone understand that this new Finder will drastically improve the usability of newbies coming from Windows? A friend of mine, that is purchasing a Mac when he enters college this fall has explained to me... "I'm going to feel ten times more at home when using the new Finder, since I'm already used to the iTunes application, and have been for quite some time!" |

I don't think the translucent menu bar looks anything like Vista from the picture you have in your article. It just looks like the 10.4 menu bar to me but a bit see through. The only transparent bits at the top of the screen in Vista are the windows themselves. The "Gadget Bar" in Vista looks like a dock to me but with widgets in it instead of application aliases.

Yep the new menu bar strikes me as Visa's over-all look; That transparent smudge effect. And although you can turn this default behavior off, I still hope Apple will see the light and change this effect to something better & original before the release.

I was surprized by the irrevelence of the "small shelf that extends inside your screen for a centimeter or so." assertion

This is most likely real. Simply, if Apple wanted to implement virtualization, they would do it exactly as they did with Classic. The nice thing about Windows is that the app have their menubar in the window so that Apple doesn't have to change the main menubar at all (like they did for OS9). |
